Oleme

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 boys, aged 9 and 11 years old. We love to be outdoors - hiking, biking, camping and canoeing in the summer and skiing, skating, snowshoeing and hockey in the winter. We also love to travel, read, play board games, cook and eat good food and play in the workshop (fixing, woodworking). We have a dog and fish, but no care needed (automated feeder for fish and we will find other care or accommodations for our dog).

We spent 2 weeks of our 3 week Canada trip in the house of the Currie family. The contact was very good, already before the trip. They were very flexible in planning and offered us also their car, canoes and bikes for making trips. Great for us to discover Parc Gatineau and even 2 nights in National Parc Papineau Labelle. There was plenty of information available in the house for hike, bike and canoe camping trips. Maps and written documention with al kinds of suggestions. Far too much to do in two weeks. They left a meal for us upon our arrival in the evening. It was great spending time in their spacious house with nice garden, where the squirrels walk around the tree when you sit outside. Even during our exchange they provided us with nice suggestions for trips. Westboro is a calm neighborhoud, but on 30 minutes nice bike ride to downtown Ottawa. We enjoyed the Westboro beach at 10 minutes distance and the supermarkets, trendy shops and (rooftop) restaurants nearby. We had a wonderful time and thank Johanna and Stuart very much for their efforts to make our holiday so comfortable and pleasant. In the short time we were in contact it felt like we know each other for a long time. We will for sure stay in contact. This Canada experience will be one to remember!

Meie soovitused, kuhu minna ja mida teha ajal, kui viibite meie kodus

Our home is located in a neighborhood with many trendy shops, cafes and pubs within a 10 minute walking distance. There is also a sand beach within a 15 minute walking distance. There is an extensive bike pathway throughout the city, including a beautiful 30 minute bike along the Ottawa River to downtown. We have many world-class museums and art galleries in our city including the newly renovated Science and Technology Museum, the Museum of Nature, the War Museum, the Museum of History, the Aviation Museum, the Agriculture Museum and the National Art Gallery. We also love to spend time in Gatineau Park (20 minutes away by car) where there are hundreds of kilometers of hiking and biking trails, warm lakes for swimming and canoeing, beaches, ruins and huts to enjoy. Old Chelsea, Wakefield and Almonte are small towns close by with charming coffee shops, cafes and boutiques. Montreal is a 2 hour drive to the east and Toronto is a 5 hour drive to the west. We love Ottawa because it is very easy to get around, it's not too crowded, people are very friendly, it's safe, and you can be in the middle of nature trails in minutes!
